YThis invention relates to icecream dishers and has for its object an ice cream disher which is particularly simple and economicalv in construction and highly efficient and durable in use. The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinationsk andconstructions hereinafter set forth and claimed. r In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views. l

Figure l is a side elevation of a disher embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary elevation, partly in section, looking to the right in Figure l. Figure 3 is a detail view of the thumb lever and contiguous parts.'

This ice cream disher comprises, generally, the usual bowl, a shank extending from the bowl, a scraper movable in the bowl, an operating shaft therefor extending along the shank substantially radial with the bowl, a `handle also arranged substantially radial with the bowl and nearly in line with the shaft K and with its axis parallel to the axis of the shaft and offset from the shank and a thumb lever pivoted on the shank on an axis oset from and parallel to the axis of the shaft whereby the thumblever moves toward and.

from the handle, the handle having a laterally extendingarm connected to the shank at a point concentric with the axis of the lever.

1 designates the bowl and- 2 the shank alinement with the shaft 4 and hence extending radially relatively to the bowl. The shank is provided with a stud 8 at its end toward the handle and the handle has'a laterally extending arm 9 mounted upon the stud and spaced apart from the shank 2, the stud p being provided with a noncircular or square which is inclined relatively to the bowl out v lend portion 10a-nd the arm 9 having a cor`l respondingly shaped vhole-'to fit the nonCircular or square portion 10the arm abutting against a shoulder 11 at the base of the non- 'circular orrfsquare portion l0.

.l2-is a thumblever ha-vinga hub 13' mountl ed on" the stud 8, the thumb lever itself being loeatedadjacent thearm-Qi Y Y f A Connections are provided between the thumb lever and the shaft 4 to transmitv and multiply the motion of the leverl to. the shaft. As hereillustrated., thethumb lever is provided with a radial slot 14 which receives an eccentric vor crank pin vl5 on the rearzend of theshaft 4. Atorsion spring 16 is coiled about the hub of the leverfand is anchored at one end at 17' to the shank 2 and its other end thrusts at l8, against the thumb lever.Y

l The handle orarm 9 is secured tothe .stud y,

' y The lever has athumbpiece or pinch khan.-l

overhan'ging the handle 7. Y I g lnfoperation, lthe operator takes hold of thefhandle 7 with h-isv thumb on. the thumb piece 20 and vscoops` the bowl linto the ice cream in the usual ,inanner, filling' the bowl. He then pinches the thumb lever toward the handle against the action of a spring, the movement of vthe `thumb lever beingtransferred to the shaft 4 ofI the'scraper to discharge the ice cream or other matter from the bowl.' y

Owing to the relative arrangement of the shank 2, shaftv4 and handle 7, the device is conveniently handled and is particularly Well balanced in the hands of the operator both vdle'20 extending at an anglethereto and for dishing into the ice cream to fill the bowl a shank projecting from one side of the bowl, i l

a vscraper'mounted in the bowl and anoperating shaft therefor extending along the 'n the bowl, a handle arranged substantially shank and arranged substantially radial with l radial with the bowl and nearly in line with the shaft, a thumb lever mounted on the shank j eccentric to the shaftV and movable toward and from the handle, motion transmitting and multiplying connections between the thumb lever and the shaft, the handle having a laterally extending arm opposed to the end ofy the shank and spaced apart therefrom,

n means for rigidly supporting the arm on the c shank, the thumb lever being located between the arm and the opposing end of the shank.

I2. An ice cream disher comprising a bowl, a shank extending fromone side of the bowl, a scraper mounted in the bowl, an operating shaft therefor extending lengthwise vof the shank and substantially radial with the bowl, a handle arranged substantially radial with the bowl, and nearly in line with the shaft, the shank having a stud on the end thereof toward the handle, the stud extending substantiallyparallel to the axis of the shaft and offset from the handle and theshaft, a l

thumb lever mounted on the stud and motion transmitting and multiplying connections between the thumb lever and the shaft, the handle having a laterally extending arm 0p posed to the end of the shank and fixed on the stud. t

3. An ice creaml disher comprising a bowl, ashank extending from one side of the bowl, a scraper mounted in the bowl, an operating shaft therefor extending lengthwise of the shank and substantially radial with the bowl,

a handle arranged substantially radial with the bowl, and nearly in line with ythe shaft, the shank having a stud on the end thereof toward the handle, the stud extending substantially parallel to the axis of the shaft and offset from the handle and the shaft, a thumb lever having a hub mounted on the stud, Inotion transmitting and multiplying connections between the thumb lever and the shaft, Vthe handle having a laterally extending arm mounted on the stud, and a nut threading on the end of the stud against the arm.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, at East Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York,

this 31st day of January, 1929.
